Ukraine Deliberately Blindsided Trump Before Massive Drone Attack on Russia

Donald Trump was deliberately left in the dark about Ukraine’s unprecedented drone strike in Russia on Sunday, which destroyed nearly a third of the Kremlin’s strategic bomber fleet in a surprise attack.
The large-scale drone attack saw a fleet of drones scattered all across Russia carry out simultaneous attacks on five airbases, wiping out 40 irreplaceable military bombers worth an estimated $7 billion, which have been used to reign terror upon Ukrainian civilians.
“Operation Spider-Web” took over 18 months to plan and was personally overseen by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, a source told CBS News.
Why would anyone even consider telling any politicians of foreign nations about a top secret project like that, much less blabbermouths like Donald Trump?
I'd be surprised if Ukraine isn't feeding Trump false info to see if Russia reacts to it
Dont know about false, but a good mix of low priority targets.
Between nations that share trust and respect, theoretically, it would give them time to reposition themselves to the coming reality, and perhaps more importantly, give any assets they have in the area a warning to keep their heads down/not step on any toes.
Even at the height of WW2 the Allies kept secrets from each other. Churchill had no idea the US had the Atom Bomb until it was deployed.
You are confusing nations with people. You can't trust a nation (or any other organization), you can only trust individuals because an organization can always contain individuals of diametrically opposed behaviors.
"Deliberately blindsided" is a little strong. We're not even officially an ally of Ukraine. They don't owe us, or anyone else jack shit as far as their war plans for defending their country. Add to that the fact that Trump is credibly accused of being a Russian asset and defers to their interests 99% of the time... Why the fuck would you trust us right now!?
Yeah, frankly I think it wouldn't even be good to tell Biden about it, he would likely discourage from that move. At best he would pretend he did not know about it.
aparently that's what they have been doing. This attack was in the works for quite a while
Biden supplied Ukraine with long range missiles even while Putin was sabre rattling nukes.
in a trusting ally relationship this would probably be fairly normal. In this case especially since the US is providing a lot of intel.
To Ukraine or Russia?
Intel is very different from secrets. Secrets can be blown wide open if they are leaked by one person.
